I get asked this question frequently so I thought I would provide some insight today.
Bob did 403 episodes of the “Joy of Painting”™️. Over those episodes he used a small set of thick, specially formulated, oils for his wet-on-wet method.
There are 14 colors in the Landscape line of paints today. Here is a table listing the colors ranked by the frequency of use across those 403 episodes
COLOR # of paintings used
Titanium White 400
Alizarin Crimson 380
Van Dyke Brown. 371
Cadmium Yellow 346
Yellow Ochre 327
Phthalo Blue 323
Bright Red 321
Midnight Black 317
Sap Green 306
Indian Yellow 292
Dark Sienna 290
Prussian Blue 263
Phthalo Green 116
Mt. Mix * see note below
He also used these colors but they are not part of the line today.
Burnt Umber 55
Indian Red 1
Mountain Mix has been added to the line and is a mixture of Phthalo Green(PG-7), Alizarine Crimson(PR-83), Prussian Blue(PB-27), and Brown Iron Oxide(PBr-7). This is the color Bob would mix for the dark underpainting of mountains and dark foliage. Now you can buy it already mixed.
